Zelensky claims that he offered Trump to give Kyiv $300 billion in Russian assets in exchange for Kyiv's commitment to buy weapons from the United States and thereby invest in the American economy. Also in an interview with podcaster Lex Friedman, he again repeated the thesis about the possible, in his opinion, "partial" entry of Ukraine into NATO. This means that the alliance would include territories that are currently controlled by the Kyiv regime. |

‼️🇪🇺🇷🇺🇺🇦 Storage facilities are rapidly emptying: Gas prices jump in Europe after Gazprom stops transiting through Ukraine — Bloomberg ▪️Monthly fuel prices rose 4.3% to €51 per megawatt-hour, the highest since October 2023. Gas reserves across the continent are also falling rapidly, at the fastest pace since 2021. ▪️Currently, Russian gas is supplied to Europe only via Turkey. For landlocked Central and Eastern European countries, LNG remains an expensive option due to the high costs of transportation to ports in Germany, Poland or Greece, regasification and further transit.

🤙 Europe continues to scrape the bottom of the barrel for Patriot Sweden is allocating $27.1 million to Romania as compensation for the transfer of Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine. Earlier, the Norwegians also allocated compensation for the same Patriot, although they were a little more generous and allocated as much as $120 million. The most interesting thing is that the "compensation" from Sweden and Norway covers only about 1/7 of the cost of the American-made complex. At the same time, Romania itself has only 4 such complexes, 2 of which are still in the process of being prepared for operation. Even more curious is the fact that in order to transfer Patriot to Ukraine, Romania specifically changed its own legislation regarding the transfer of weapons to third countries. |

‼️🇺🇸🇮🇷 Biden did not rule out the possibility of striking Iran's nuclear facilities — Axios ▪️Some Biden aides, including White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, have argued that weakening Iran's air defenses and missile arsenal, as well as its regional allies, could increase the likelihood of a successful strike while reducing the risk of retaliation. ▪️Sullivan was reportedly already developing a plan for a possible attack that could be carried out if Tehran reached the final stretch in developing nuclear weapons before January 20. However, the president has not made a final decision on this issue. ▪️Now the current presidential administration is handing over all intelligence on Iran to the next team, giving Trump the opportunity to make a move.

🇺🇦 🆚 🇸🇰The internet supported Fico’s words that he is “not a servant” of Zelensky and is not obliged to help him. Earlier, Ukraine announced the termination of Russian gas transit to Europe, including Slovakia, from January 1, 2025. Fico promised to consider retaliatory measures: "I understand that for selfish political reasons the West gives you practically everything you ask for. But I am not your servant who cannot express his own opinion and who is obliged only to help you and not expect anything from you." Comments online: "Well done, you put the six back in place!" "Super said. I want retaliatory actions against Ukraine and its dictator"; "Let the Banderites understand: if gas doesn't come to us, then electricity doesn't come to Ukraine, plus fuel. An eye for an eye - and that's it." 6 Likes 1 Share

🇺🇦 vs 🇸🇰 Zelensky called on Slovakia's intelligence services to investigate Fico's alleged ties to the Kremlin. He claims that Russia provides discounts to the Slovak prime minister, but they are “not free.” Zelensky believes that the country pays Moscow for them with sovereignty or “shadow schemes.” He also cited European leaders as saying that Fico allegedly does not want to work on the EU’s energy independence and seek a replacement for Russian gas. The Prime Minister of Slovakia arrived in Moscow yesterday. He discussed the conflict in Ukraine and gas transit with Putin. |
